Vintage Dessert Plate Gien Les tartes "Plum Tart"
This is a vintage dessert plate from Gien's "Les Tartes" (Tarts) series.
The tart-patterned series was designed for Gien by Marie-Pierre Boitard.
There are six types of tart series in total. The different designs for each fruit are very cute and charming.
This particular one is "Tarte aux Prunes" (plum tart).
The rim features a rhythmic fruit garland, and the center design evokes a peaceful picnic.
The charming design is reminiscent of wallpaper in an old French farmhouse.
This is a wonderful dessert plate that you'll want to display by hanging it on a wall or placing it on a plate stand. Be sure to check out the charming backstamp as well.
Condition: Craquelure is visible. There is a chip on the back rim, but it does not affect the front.
